Commentary on Jonah, Micah, Nahum

by John Calvin

John Calvin (1509–1564) was a French theologian who became the leading figure of the Reformation in Geneva. Trained in law and humanist scholarship, he published the first edition of his Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536, at twenty-six, and spent his life preaching, lecturing, and organizing the Genevan church. His commentaries on nearly the whole Bible and the final 1559 Institutes anchor our Reformed collection.

About this book

John Calvin's commentaries on Jonah, Micah, and Nahum, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Jonah shows God's mercy reaching even Nineveh; Micah joins condemnation of corrupt rulers with the promise of a shepherd-king born in Bethlehem; Nahum proclaims Nineveh's eventual fall. Calvin expounds these prophets plainly, applying their words to repentance, mercy, and trust in God's justice.
